Justifying the use of handcuffs on a civilian without proper reasoning and proof is considered a crime. As a private security operative, you are not exempted from this rule. If you are carrying handcuffs, it is wise to know when you can use them within the purview of your job. Not being aware of this point, if you end up putting handcuffs on people willy-nilly, it can turn into a huge issue and may affect your career. Therefore, before enrolling on a security course, it is necessary to check the course modules carefully. It is vital to know what you will be taught during the course; otherwise, time spent on the course won’t be of any help to your career.
